Re: [PATCH v3] Currently if the SoC needs pinctrl to switch the SCL and SDA from the I2C function to GPIO function, the recovery won't work.

A bit of bikeshedding, would the below be slightly better?

	rinfo->pinctrl = devm_pinctrl_get(dev->dev);
	if (IS_ERR(rinfo->pinctrl)) {
		if (PTR_ERR(rinfo->pinctrl) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			return PTR_ERR(rinfo->pinctrl);

		rinfo->pinctrl = NULL;
		dev_err(dev->dev, "getting pinctrl info failed, disabling...\n");
	}
	if (!rinfo->pinctrl)
		dev_dbg(dev->dev, "pinctrl is disabled, bus recovery might not work\n");
